10 more weeks

We can do hard things. 

10 more weeks to go 

Scott's in great spirits & the past 2 weeks have been so much better. Sure, lots of 💤. Lots. Lethargic the first week of Chemo and the white blood cell shot. However, no extra germs has made it way more decent of an experience. 

The steroids on the first day is rough to watch. Scott looks tired and he can't sit still. Once those steroids back down, Scott sleeps and sleeps. 

We can now call out chemo brain & chemo emotional responses. They week after chemo we can see how it stresses his body, his mind and emotions. At least now that we can see a pattern, it's easier to redirect. 

Lizzie s birthday request was seeing spiderman into the Spiderverse - live. It was super cool.

Remember when you kids would smile for pictures?

Fresh Irish Apple Crumble, Tiramisu, Pumpkin Pie and Nanaimo Style Alabama Bars (Thank you Emma, Corner Gas). It was a great meal he could taste.  Scott has 1 more Treatment and he is counting the days. He rests a lot. Sunday is a great example. He may or may not sleep Saturday Night. He will go to church and then eat lunch. By 1pm he's ready to sleep 3+ hours.  Chemo brain is a real thing and will be grateful for it to go away. In other news, this is time together that we would have never taken for ourselves. We have been forced to face our souls (mind, will and emotions) and find out what we really believe about health and healing. Do we ...
